 The next step is to import original sources. There are two possible cases: using a tarball from the vendor or taking the sources right from the vendor's source repository (SVN, GIT, HG, etc). There is one essential difference between these cases: the tarball will usually contain pre-generated sources necessary for the build (and sometimes also the documentation) while the repository doesn't contain these files assuming they will be regenerated by the developer. The vendor's repository is a '''preferred''' source for importing (because it makes no sense to store generated files in a version control system). But sometimes it's not possible, either because the vendor repository is not accessible or because not all files can be re-generated on OS/2 due to the lack of some Linux tools that hasn't been ported to OS/2 yet.

You also need to define a version you want to import and a tag corresponding to it. In our case it's version 0.32.8 (the latest stable one at the time of writing) and the respective tag is `pixman-0.32.8`. To check out this tag to `vendor-current`, run the following command:
